Hi, it's Alice again...

Many of you know me as a family and wedding photographer. So why boudoir photography? I initially started this for myself - to see myself in a different light. In turn, I hope I can do the same for you. 

A little about me: I grew up in Vietnam and from what I remember from my childhood, I could never fit in with the Asian beauty standards. Women had to be feminine, slim, and pale-skinned. I was always a bit on the chubby side, I didn't have straight hair, my skin tone is a shade darker than most of my classmates, and all the clothing in Asian sizes barely fit me. The aunties would make jokes about my weight, my body size, my rather larger shoulder, and how I should watch what I eat. I was, for the longest time, excluded from what is considered "beautiful" in my country. I have come a long way from being that little girl who was ashamed of her body, and boudoir photography really helped me celebrate that progress. But that is for another story. Let's get back to YOU! 

My vision for my boudoir photography revolves around normalizing and supporting the person that you are. We ALL struggle with things we don't like about ourselves. In fact, when I did my very own boudoir session, the first thing I noticed when I saw my photos was the hyperpigmentation spots all over my body (my neck, my armpit, etc.) and how big the stretch marks were on my breasts and thighs...
